I don't care what anyone thinks; I'm starting a Team Akane and people can join me or not. Non-traditionally attractive moe is the next bit thing.

good god her right index finger is long, though

She is not non-traditionally attractive, she is just poorly drawn.

Muv-Luv 11

Awww damn. Shit is getting real. Is the next episode really the last one?
Muv-Luv Alternative: Total Eclipse 10-11

The Russians are
quite dirty though, not that it's surprising, given what they wanted to do to Yuuya when he was captured way back, but still, in a war against aliens bent on destroying the human race, you'd think they would work more together as in-fighting and backstabbing isn't going to help anyone
.
The reason for this is pretty great: dem governments are thinking about after the war with the BETA. With no more aliens to deal with, it's going to be time for some good old fashioned Terran VS Terran. And since every country is shitting out mechs all day every day, having something like the uber death laser will be a huge advantage.

I'm actually getting curious about the work this is based on.
Me too. I wouldn't mind a little more Muv-Luv in my life.

Yes the one in green that is barely ever around.
Aww, poor green loli.

Moyashimon Returns Fin

So, who knew I would turn out to enjoy this after everyone, including ANN, decided that it was shit. lol
I guess I really am blind, since I didn't really care about how it looked.

The France arc had a nice ending that wrapped up the two major story lines, and they had some scenery porn in the process:

And of course they couldn't resist this confrontation:
Which still makes me wonder if something is suddenly "okay" because of the lampshading. I don't even know anymore, since we're living in an age of meta self-awareness.

And, I guess this means a third season is... possible? That teaser at the end must mean something, but I have no idea what it is trying to evoke.

I do find it interesting that even in the second season, family obligation and filial piety were also themes. Given that they've done it twice now, and the other characters don't seem to have any real big family hangups, I wonder if this means that the manga (and the next season?) will shift to some new focus with the characters.

I assume it'll be some wacky hijinks with the perverts and some random trivia before some small arc, yet again, but I'm not sure what else is left. The live action adaptation ended with the wedding thing (and played it up way too much to make it more dramatic, I suppose), so it'll be interesting to see what they have in store for the characters if it ever comes back.

Moyashimon Returns 11

What a great finale this turned out to be. When they first started the
Paris
arc it kinda felt like it was middling about with no sense of direction but soon enough, everything started coming together to create this really funny, charming and emotional experience. This was quite easily the better of the two noitaminA series and a worthy sequel to the original Moyashimon. If you're a fan of the first series then you owe yourself to check this out as it most certainly won't disappoint.

With those godawful sales? I don't see how it could be possible, even if Chihayafuru is somehow getting a 2 cour sequel.
Hey, it got a jdrama AND a sequel already... I assume the anime is just part of the marketing budget at this point.

I dunno man, there was a huge sense of disappointment when the show first aired. Not sure if anyone else stuck around. lol
 
Probably 3-400$
It doesn't look detailed enough IMO.
You're right i really need a 1:1 reproduction or the fortress

they dont have a transforming one for crikin?

Will look further into this to find more details.( hopefully someone is crazy enough to do that )

Spirited away references !!

So this show is 13 eps ? that's a shame really , especially since nadeshiko won't have her arc animated .
I think they'll manage to end this on a high note .. hopefully so we can get the rest later.
The ep itself was not as fan service as i would have hoped but still did an okay job as a setup for the final arc ...

ENJOYABLE

It wouldn't be the first time a show with such middling sales got a sequel.

Ehh, their loss.

Poor Rindou, most of the viewers call her "cool" instead of "cute"

Well after reading your impressions and wonzo's, I will probably just marathon it sometime next week. I did love the original a lot so I guess I have to suck it up and learn to accept the new designs.

So, worth it to catch up on Muv-Luv?

Do you enjoy anime where the terrible CG looks better than the hand drawn mechanical animation? Does everyone being racist against each other sound appealing? Have you ever wanted to watch a show where the drunk Gurkha girl is the cutest thing about it?

If you answer 'Yes' to two out of three then yes, you should.

Let it never be said that I passed up a recommendation by my bro wonzo.

Yeah, I guess since I only watched the original after the first couple of episodes of the sequel aired, I didn't really have a problem with how it looked.

Then again, as I've said, I almost don't really care as long as the story itself is interesting.

The Oppai song or whatever almost made me skip the episode but wow, so glad I didnt. Who knew a fan service episode could really deliver. Momo was great, and Rindou showed just how cool she is---thanks to her so much awesome Keita, all the panning shots, the visions, and his own comedy moments, best aspect of this whole anime. More fanservice eps?

Plot --
this newer Momija > Older

Oh why did they censor the dudes from the back, in Fairy Tail Gray FullBuster is never censored like that when hes completely nude.

Hmm, time to start Moyashimon Returns it seems.

On the other hand... the shit I do for Gurkhas.

This... was actually pretty good for the first 6-7 minutes until the CG kicked in again but after that it was pretty much switching between CG and hand drawn stuff far more frequently than it usually does. Still, seeing the
little shit get completely humiliated
like that was pretty satisfying and
hopefully Diao does indeed go with the mountain people
. Also, it seems that they've added some more special effects (dust clouds and heat waves) to the OP to help hide just how shitty it looks.

I'll post a few gifs later.

I wouldn't call the sales middling, Volume 1 had sub 2k sales after the first season averaged around 8.5k. Articalys says it was being sold at a discount too.
While middling isn't the right word to use, it doesn't change the fact that there are shows out there that have sold around the same or fewer units only end up with a sequel. Combine that with the fact that it's an adaptation of an incredibly popular manga series and it wouldn't be that big a stretch to say a third season is possible, even if it is indeed incredibly unlikely.

I've come to the realization that I can only enjoy this show when the spotlight is on Ritsu or Sawa-chan. Thankfully this episode has some crazy awesome Sawako fanservice. I was certainly not expecting that and I would certainly enjoy some more service to mitigate my suffering while watching this show.

Lots of focus on Ritsu. Amazingly it takes the girls about 15 minutes to try to come up with a different solution to the problem other than switching instruments. Obviously there was never a problem in the first place - it's not like they would drastically change something like that at this point in the show nor should they. The flashback scenes with Ritsu and Mio were pretty adorable.

I'm not entirely sure why I don't enjoy this show. There is obviously a lot of effort put into the show but I simply cannot get invested nor feign interest in most of the characters in this show. Most of them are just plain uninteresting on every level particularly in Mio and Mugi and I just have downright contempt for some of the others in this show like Yui. Ritsu is by far the best girl in the band and Sawako is pretty damn awesome herself.

I do feel bad for Azunyan. She is the odd fit of the group and her sempai are completely incompetent and useless. I hope she gets some more time to shine along with poor Ui. I have no idea how that girl hasn't broken down yet taking care of her awful sister but god bless her because she keeps chugging along.

There are whole episodes focused on Azusa and her friends outside of the club. Jun is kinda like Ristu, so you'll probably like her.
